01/09/1987 - City Council SpecialMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS PROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: JANUARY 9, 1987 SUBJECT: SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1987 The special City Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, January 13, will commence at 6:30 p.m. Mr. Michael Foertsch, who is currently under consideration for hiring as the Assistant City Engineer, is scheduled for an introduction and meeting with the City Council at 6:30 p.m. Enclosed is a copy of Mr. Foertsch's resume and information about the interview and selection process that was initiated to date by the City. At 7:00 p.m., the interviews for all commission and committee appointments are scheduled. Please note that new applicants and incumbents were contacted for interviews. The attached schedule indicates those persons who are requesting an interview, those who are unable to interview, and candidates whom the City has not contacted as of today but will have some indication by the end of the weekend as to whether they can interview. Those persons who have not been contacted and wiElh to be interviewed will be added in the time slots at the end of the attached interview schedule. The City Attorney and City Administrator have had a meeting that was called by John Shardlow and Gerald Duffy, representing Robert O'Neil, this morning and feel after visiting with Mayor Blomquist and City Councilmember Egan that the information shared does necessitate an executive session to discuss the O'Neil lawsuit vs the City of Eagan immediately following the commission/committee interviews Tuesday evening. Attached is a memo from City Attorney Hauge indicating the need for such a meeting. Also attached is a copy of a letter from Steve Rothmeier asking that the City Council and Planning Commission attend a luncheon and tour of the new Northwest Airlines world headquarters building on Thursday, January 22. If each member of the City Council can attend, please let me know Tuesday evening and I will make the confirmation. (,-I04W-46 City Administrator TLH/kf MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: JANUARY 9, 1987 SUBJECT: ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER For your information, when the City of Eagan received the resignation of the then Assistant City Engineer Rich Hefti, the hiring procedure for a replacement was begun. Advertisements for the vacant position were placed in the Sunday Minneapolis Star and Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press for three straight Sunday editions. The position was also advertised in all the This Week Newspaper editions and all the Sun Newspaper Corporation papers (including, of course, the Eagan Chronicle). These papers cover all municipalities south of the river, and in the case of the Sun Papers, the Cities of Richfield and Bloomington. The advertisement was also placed in the state engineering journal and a posting notice was sent with a cover letter to all members of the state civil engineering association (whose membership includes city engineers in most municipalities as well as engineers working for private consulting firms). The job opening was also posted at all City building locations. Approximately 36 applications were received for the position. These applications were closely screened by Administrative Assistant Duffy and Director of Public Works Colbert. Criteria for selection for an interview included the possession of a civil engineering degree, present registration as or the ability to become registered in the State of Minnesota as a Professional Engineer, and municipal civil engineering experience including experience with street, sewer and watermain projects, project administration and contract administration. Seven applications met these qualifications. These seven _ applicants were contacted and invited to come for an interview at the Eagan Municipal Center. One applicant declined because she had already accepted another position. Another cancelled his interview for the same reason. Therefore, five applicants were interviewed by Director of 'Public Works Colbert and Administrative Assistant Duffy. A copy of the questions asked each applicant is included for your information at the end of the memo. From the five applicants, two applicants were selected for a final interview with City Administrator Hedges and Director of Public Works Colbert. Each applicant was then asked to send in additional specific references and examples of his work. It was the consensus of both City Administrator Hedges and Director of Public Works Colbert (as well as of Administrative Assistant Duffy from the first interview session) that Michael Foertsch was the strongest and best suited applicant -for the position. A Mr. Foertsch is presently the Assistant City Engineer for the City of Brainerd. A copy of Mr. Foertsch's application and resume is attached on the following pages. Also attached are copies of correspondence from Mr. Foertsch and reference letters for Mr. Foertsch. As mentioned before, a copy of the questions used for interview purposes is also included. As a point of information, Director of Public Works Colbert also personally spoke with the City Engineer from Brainerd concerning Mr. Foertsch and received a very positive recommendation. The Council is scheduled to meet Mr. Foertsch at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 13, at the Eagan Municipal Center. If any member of the Council requires further information before that time, please contact me. 11wroQ � City Administrator TLH/HND CITY OF EAGAN r 3830 PILOT KNOB ROAD P.O.

I would like to express my interest in being considered for such an appointment for either the 3 year position or as the alternate. I feel my past work experience with the Engineering Division of the City of Eagan, my previous appointment as an alternate to the Planning Commission, and my current position on the Gun Club Watershed Board would qualify me for serious consideration for the technical knowledge and community involvement, which I'm sure would be prere- quisites for an appointment. I have built a house in Eagan and would like to become active in the community during its exciting growing period. I hope you and the City Council will give serious consideration to my application and will provide me with the opportunity to service our community. Sincerely, Scott Merkley 4289 Sunrise Road Eagan, MN 55122 0 Dec. 30, 1986 Dear Sir, I am writing this letter in accordance with city policy to let you know of my interest in a position on Eagan's Advisory Planning Commission. I have lived in Eagan most of my twenty five years. I intend to live in Eagan for many years to come. I have watched Eagan grow as I have grown. This city has been a wonderful place to grow up in. I would like to help make sure it will be just as great a city for my children to grow up in. In early May I will graduate from University of Wisconsin Stout with a bachelors degree in Building Construction. I have completed the appren- ticship program and currently am a journeymen bricklayer. I have also had a good deal of architectural studies. I am knowledgeable in the construc- tion industry and have an eye for architectural asthetics. I believe with my background I would be able to benefit the Advisory Planning Commission and bring in a fresh outlook for the community. I hope I will be able to help in the growth of the city as it has helped me. Sincerely, Michael A. Nelson 4205 Pilot Knob Rd.

Some of the members know that my great-grandfather was involved in the formation of Eagan and served as the first treasurer of the township. My family has always been active in civic affairs and I am happy to continue this tradition. As a lifelong resident of Eagan, I watched it develop from a farming community to the city it is now. I am committed to working for continued orderly growth and excellence. Because of my knowledge of the area, and my love for it, I believe the city would benefit through my dedicated efforts working with the other members of the commission.

I am presently a carpenter involved in commercial construction. I also have been involved in home building in the past. I.V interest in this commission arises from the rapid growth I have seen in Eagan since moving here. I find it very exciting. I am interested in seeing Eagan grow but in stages that we as a city can handle. Please accept my application for the Advisory Planning Commission.

Aside from my personal interest In the benefits that the city's parks and recreation system.provides my family, I feel I have an educational and professional background that would be an asset to the commission. After receiving a B.S. degree in Recreation Resource Management from the University of Minnesota, I spent five years with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources working on river recreation and management programs. I returned to the University to earn an M.S. degree in forestry, during which I completed research an the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. I later spent two years with the DNR Division of Forestry helping to prepare the first statewide forest resource management plan. I have a good understanding of land use planning, zoning, recreation planning and natural resource management as a result of this educational and professional experience. I feel I would bring to the Commission a perspective from a significant and growing segment of the city's population - the younger family that has recently moved to Eagan (We have been here for almost one year). Having grown up in Bloomington during its period of rapid growth from the mid -fifties to the early seventies, I feel I have a good idea of the park and recreation needs of a rapidly developing suburban community such as Eagan. - I am sincerely interested in serving on the—Cotmmission.

Rehuctahtly,`.- ,must 'adv se uw ll riot " `again:ybe.":a candidate*. As you know, I have regretfully had to miss a number of meetings in 1986 - mostly those scheduled in addition to the regular sessions - because of other commitments. As Eagan continues to grow and flourish, I think the City will be better served by someone who can devote at least close to 100% of all the normally lengthy regular and extra meetings that the APC currently requires. I have enjoyed member of the APC. Commission as Eagan the future.

Box 21199 Eagan, MN 55121 Attention: Mr. Tom Hedges I have decided not to reapply for membership on the Eagan Advisory Planning Commission. I have enjoyed my association with the Planning Commission Members, Mayor, City Council Members and City Staff over the past seven years. Having been a member of the Advisory Planning Commission has been a very good experience, but I have several personal as well as business conflicts that will not allow me to dedicate the time I feel is necessary to be an effective member over the next year or two. I wish to thank all of you for the support you have given me in the past and I hope to continue the friendships I have made. Please convey my best -wishes for continued success to everyone who works with the Eagan Advisory Planning Commission. Sincerely,. David A.

MINNESOTA 55123 Hedges Administrator Knob Road 55121 RE: Robert O'Neil Property Dear Tom: January 9, 1987 CONFIDENTIAL AREA CODE 612 TELEPHONE 456-9000 454-4224 It's my understanding that in the afternoon of Thursday, January 8, 1987, you received a call from John Shardlow, the planner for Mr. and Mrs. Robert O'Neil's property on Yankee Doodle Road, asking for a meeting as quickly as possible to discuss some new events regarding the O'Neil land. You had discussed with him on two other occasions including as late as last Monday, the potential for some change in the viewpoint of the O'Neils and yet had gotten a rebuff last Monday to the effect that the O'Neils would not be willing to offer a more conciliatory approach. John Shardlow and Jerry Duffy met with you and me at 10:30 a.m. on January 9, 1987 at your office. Chris Dietzen was asked to be present and thought he could be there, but then called at the last minute and said that he was tied up in Court in Hennepin County and would not be able to be present. We had what appeared to be an enlightening, yet affirmative meeting, at which time we let Duffy and Shardlow do most of the talking. The following is the essence of the conversation: 1. There is a developer that is quite interested in the property, but no Purchase Agreement has been signed. 2. Duffy and Shardlow, at the present time, are the principal players in working with the City in attempting to put together a development package either by O'Neil directly or potentially through a developer. 3. They asked that we again discuss with the City Council in executive session a general approach to the O'Neil issues and we are suggesting that the session be held after the January 13 special meeting following the Committee and Commission interviews. Sf Mr. Thomas Hedges January 9, 1987 Page 2 4. If the Council concurs with the very general development proposal, we would then respond to Duffy and Shardlow and they would proceed to package a plan that would be worked in concurrence with the City Planner and City Consulting Planner. 5. A temporary stay of the proceedings would be reached until a more definite understanding could be reached concerning the civil action, the condemnation action and the steps involved in the development application process. There are a number of other issues that were discussed and can be reviewed with the Council, one of which deals with the freeway zoning discussion that took place earlier.

Hauge TRANSMITTAL FIMAYOR BLOMQUIST COUNCILMAN EGAN COUNCILMAN SMITH MESSAGE: ADMINISTRATION COUNCILMAN '-ELL'I-SON COUNCILMAN WACHTER Attached are sample questions that the City Council may choose to use while interviewing residents for consideration of committee/ commission appointments. Tom TO ADVISORY COMMISSION APPLICANTS: The following are examples of the questions that will probably be asked during the interview tonight: Planning Commission Candidates 1. What are some of the positive and negative observations you have made regarding recent development and growth of our com- munity? Also, are you familiar with the City's comprehensive guide plan document? It would also be helpful if you could share with the City Council your- conception of the role of the Advisory Planning Commission and how it interrelates with citizen groups and the actual planning of our community. Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission Candidates 1. As an applicant for the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission, how do you perceive the City's trail system? Also, do you feel the City has a balance of passive and active park land? If not, what are some changes you would recommend. I assume you are familiar with the City's recent bond referendum; do you agree or have some suggestions regarding park land development that was outlined as a part of that referendum? Cable Commission Candidates 1. Are you familiar with public access and, if so, how do you perceive the needs for our public access studio and program- ming? Also, do you have any comments regarding the joint com- mission arrangement between the Cities of Burnsville and Eagan regarding the administration of cable television for these two communities? You may or may not be familiar with the pro- gramming that is being offered by Group W. If so, do you have any comments regarding the services that are offered? Airport Noise Committee Candidates 1. What do you see as _the most important issues facing the Metropolitan Area pertaining to Aircraft Noise? What do you perceive Eagan's role in these issues to be? How do you think the City can best address the noise situtation for residents? How can this be balanced with the business community's convenient air transportation needs?
